37. (III) A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3–41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the hori- zontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that “takeoff angle" is 7.0° above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed? 22 m -1.5 m - Must clear this point! AAA. FIGURE 3-41 Problem 37.

(7) A ball is thrown in the air from the top of a building 80ft tall with a velocity of 8ft/sec. Find the height (in feet) above the ground of the ball after t seconds. With what speed will the ball hit the ground? Note: acceleration due to gravity is -32ft/sec2.
9) Generic Villain, in an airplane, is chasing Generic Hero who is driving a car. The speed of the airplane is 147 m/s and the speed of the car is 51.0 m/s. If the Villain, at an altitude of 1.00E2 m, wants to drop a bomb on the Hero (and assuming the airplane is in level flight) how far should they be away from the car when they do so? (If you care, the hero gets away with some generic special effects and, you know, turning...) (434 m)
